In images and video obtained from the DSI, Wiraphon was seen under police guard wearing Buddhist robes. Wiraphon claims to be the reincarnation of legendary monk Luang Pu Nenkham, but he's also known in the Thai press as the "jet set" monk due to his extravagance. Wiraphon, wearing the orange robes of the monkhood, is processed by Thai immigration authorities. He will fully be dismissed from the monkhood once he performs a ceremony in front of another senior monk.
